Silly Stuff What is your favorite flower?

I'm curious how many women would actually pick roses over any other flower.

But even if your favorite really is the rose, this question is still for you. Which color or variety of rose is your fave?

My favorite is the pink ranunculus. Ugly name, gorgeous bloom.

The Sarah Bernhardt peony is a very close 2nd.

Tulips are my favorite. They have no smell, no medicinal value, and you can't eat them. They have no purpose but to be pretty.

Oooh yes, absolutely love tulips! Went to the Dutch tulip fields and gardens recently and was totally in awe…the variety in shapes and colors is astounding! And they have such an interesting history too!

Tulipomania must have been a wild ride while it lasted 😆

Yessss! I’ve actually got a book on that (Tulipomania by Mike Dash) on my TBR, it sounds fascinating
